Abstract

This study aimed to explain the appropriateness of using gambits in students’ debate competition, the debate structure realized in the students’ debate competition, the contribution of gambits to the students’ debate structure, and the ways the students overcome the difficulties of using gambits in the debate competition. To achieve the aims, this study used discourse analysis as the research design. To collect the data, this study used video recorder in observation and interview as the instrument. This study applied Keller and Warner (1988)’s theory about conversation gambits and Harvey-Smith (2011)’s theory about debate structure to analyze the data. The subjects in this study were 40 undergraduate students (20 teams) from different universities participating in National University Debating Championship (NUDC) 2018 of West Java. Their debate competition (five exhibitions) were observed, transcribed and analyzed. The objects of the study were the students’ gambits and debate structure. The findings from observation showed that most of debaters used variety of gambits from opening, linking and responding gambits to deliver their speech appropriately. Most of debaters applied the debate structure in the debate competition. Only one or two debater/s did not apply some parts of the debate structure. The use of gambits gave high contribution to the students’ debate structure to support them in making introduction, rebuttals, arguments, and conclusion in their debate speech. The results of interview showed that most of students learned gambits naturally and to overcome the difficulties of using gambits in any situation was by learning and practicing hard to make the speech perfect.

Abstract

According to Vinay and Darbelnet (1995), direct translation refers to the transposition of source language message element by element into target language based on either structural parallelism or metalinguistic parallelism. However, both parallelisms are not realized by the student translators so that sometimes they apply inappropriate direct translation. Therefore, this study is aimed to assess the quality of students’ direct translation procedures according to Larson (1994) in Indonesian rendering of English folklore drama script. This study employed descriptive qualitative method with the involvement of respondents for quality assessment. The result reveals that 445 direct procedures consisting of 45 borrowing translations, 18 calque translations, and 382 literal translations produce 249 accurate, 64 sufficiently accurate, and 132 less accurate translations. Dealing with clarity, 314 are considered as clear, 71 sufficiently clear, and 60 less clear translations. In addition, the analysis of naturalness results 285 natural, 51 sufficiently natural, 58 less natural, and 51 unnatural translations. The problems derived from students’ direct procedures are the use of unacceptable loan word and word by word translation which can create misinterpretation. Therefore, the students should increase their awareness of the structural and metalinguistic parallelisms between source and target language.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare and explain the appraisal resource of Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton realized in the campaign speeches of the United States Presidential Election 2016. This study is discourse analysis conducted by employing appraisal framework (Martin and White, 2005). It is focused on analyzing the appraising items of engagement utilized by the speakers in their first and last speech. The results show that in both speeches Trump produced 704 appraising items, while Hillary discovered 300 appraising items. Besides, it was also discussed that the engagement used contains more disclaim, such utilization by Trump was a medium to deliver his political agendas. While the existence of contrary position in Hillary’s speeches indicated her effort to clarify, even counter-strike all issues she dealt with. The similarities of appraising items utilized by the speakers were relied on both speeches, in the first speech, all features of engagement were deployed in the same configuration, while in the last speech, it happened only on disclaim and proclaim. Meanwhile, the differences of appraising items used were found in entertain and attribute in the last speech. In relation to the pedagogical implication, the study suggests that the English teaching and learning that adopts appraisal resource contextualized in hortatory text is an appropriate technique, the students are engaged to experience the relevant English language skills effectively and be able to produce text properly.

Abstract

A number of studies have investigated the phenomenon of teachers’ talk to explain its role in the process of acquiring a target language in a classroom setting. However, studies of teachers’ talk in the field of communicative competence and it sub-competence have not much done yet. Three English teachers at SMAN 1 Semarang, SMA Nasional Karangturi Semarang, and SMA Mardisiswa Semarang were involved in this spoken discourse study to explain the realization of actional competence which proposed by Celce_Murcia et al. (1995) and formulaic competence based on the Biber et al’s. (2004) theory in teachers’ talk. Furthermore, this study also explained the relationship between those competencies. The findings of this study revealed that English teachers mostly performed actional competence in five sub-categories namely asking questions, giving instructions, explaining, reacting to interlocutors’ speech, and complementing. Related to the realization of lexical bundles, teachers’ talk mainly contained verb phrase along with dependent clauses. In contrast, lexical bundles that incorporate noun phrase and preposition fragments accounted for only a small proportion of lexical bundles. Dealing with the relationship between both competences, it revealed that there is a stock of lexical bundles on each language function. Seeing there is a relationship between both competences, the teachers must choose appropriate utterances in a given situation as the model for the students. The teachers need to maintain a balance, they are not only focused on grammar and pronunciation, but also have adequate knowledge and competence of lexical bundles for performing appropriate language functions.

Abstract

A good writing is one that is cohesive and coherence. Cohesive and coherence are essential textual components to create organized and comprehensiveness of the texts. Coherence refers to the quality of being meaningful or we can say that coherence is when a text hangs together. The research has been intended to find cohesion and coherence devices in the background sections of the students’ formal writing. The sources were 10 background sections of the students’ final projects from undergraduate students at Universitas Negeri Semarang. The qualitative analysis was performed to explore the results. The results of the analysis showed that the background sections of the students’ formal writing contain all kinds of cohesion and coherence devices. The background sections of the students’ final project contain grammatical cohesion (reference, ellipsis, substitution, conjunction) and lexical cohesion (reiteration and collocation). Coherence devices (theme-rhyme and micro level) are also contained in the data. Through this article the writers want to help students to have a better understanding of making background sections in their final projects.

Abstract

Lexical bundle is recurrent sequences of words which usually hang together. By identifying and analyzing lexical bundles structurally and functionally, we can see how the texts have been written especially in achieving communicative purpose of the text. The objectives of the research are to analyze lexical bundles in order to explain (1) their structural forms, (2) their functional types, (3) the relation between the structural forms and functional types manifested in the literature review of students’ final projects, and (4) the distribution of the relation between the structural forms and functional types to literature review’s move structures in achieving its communicative purpose. This research is a corpus study. The data are 20 Chapter II, Literature Review of students’ final projects. The results revealed that, firstly the most structural form of LB used in students’ texts was Type 1 Noun phrase with of-phrase fragment, secondly research-oriented was the most function of LB categorized into procedure, quantification, and description, thirdly there are three relations between structures and functions of LB; (a) Relation I: research-oriented and four structure types, (b) Relation II: text-oriented and three structure types, (c) Relation III: participant-oriented and three structure types, and fourthly, all structures of LB especially which are related functionally into research-oriented has a great contribution to Literature Review’s move structures. It means that the use of LBs have contribution in achieving communicative purpose of the text.

Abstract

This study focuses on exploring the correlation of attitudes, motivation and English learning strategies in an attempt to see wether 1) positive attitudes correlate with motivation, 2) negative attitudes correlate with motivation, 3) positive attitudes correlates with English learning strategies, 4) negative attitudes correlate with English learning strtegies, 5) high motivation correlates with English learning strategies and 6) low motivation correlates with English learning strategies which consequently may provide some pedagogical implications for teachers to benefit in classroom applications. A total of 308 sample were involved in this descriptive study. They were the second grade of senior high school in Indramayu city – West Java. The data were obtained through using two questionnaires; AMTB (SPSS. 21) and SILL (SPSS 21). The results of the two questionnires that for the item 1 (Table 2) is about the awareness of the importance of English and the fact that it shows the good and the poor learners are more aware of this. Subsequent items 2-7 (Table 3 and 4) show the good and poor learners are more interested in learning English and expression of desire to learn English. Next, items 8-10, (Table 5) that they show the actual English interest and effort in learning and improving in an out of the classroom. (the good and poor learners’ positive attitudes correlate with their motivation). However, the first third items (11, 12, and 14), table 6, that the highest rank, the poor learners responses, (.251 **, .414 **, .357 **, agreements) are items related to the difficulty involved in learning English. Moreover, items 5 to 7 (15, 16, 17) study the poor learners find learning English uninteresting and they really find learning English boring. Finally, the low mean scores for items 10 (20), table 8, show that the poor learners do not think that learning English is a waste of time (the poor learners’ negative attitudes do not correlative with their motivation). Furthermore, in line with the strategy, the good learners who have high motivation are more greater than the poor learners who have low motivation (Table 15 and 16). It is highly likely influenced by extrinsic motivation.

Abstract

This study analyzes narratives written by six students who joined a story writing contest. It is assumed that the students who joined in the writing contest had fair knowledge in writing, so the texts may achieve coherence. This study uses qualitative research in the form of discourse analysis. The focuses of the study are to investigate micro and macro level coherence, tense use, and the context of situation of the texts. This study uses the theories from Thornbury (2005), Ellis (1997), and Eggins (1994). This study is aimed to know the quality of coherent text in the students’ narrative. The findings of this study showed that constant theme patterns became the most frequent occurred in the narratives followed by zig-zag patterns and sentences which has no patterns. The sentences which have patterns might be logic in continuity. For the macro-level coherence, key word aspect became the most found in the narratives. The words represented the main characters in the stories. The macro-scripts showed that the narratives mostly use the script orientation-complication-resolution in arranging the paragraphs. The tense errors were found in almost all narratives. The findings showed three narratives had more errors than correct ones. The situational coherence showed that the fields in the texts were about heroes who had done something precious in their life. The tenors of the texts were same, namely between story writers and story readers. The modes of the texts were also the same. The texts are delivered by written media, so the texts did not have visual and aural distance between story writers and story readers. The goal of the texts is only for constructing experience.

Abstract

Professional and pedagogic competences are the basic aspects for effective teaching and learning to take place in classrooms. They are dealing with the quality of teaching-learning process. However, the average score of UKG (Teacher Competence Test) in Indonesia did not achieve standard expected target. This mixed-methods study is aimed to reveal professional and pedagogic competences of English teachers with different UKG achievement levels. Quantitative method was employed in the first phase through student questionnaire to investigate students’ perception on their English teachers’ professional and pedagogic competences performed in classrooms. 14 classes students of six junior high schools in Bandung, West Java, were chosen as participants.The total number of students was 474 with 14 English teachers as subjects of the study. In the second phase, this study employed a descriptive qualitative method through classrooms observation and documentation to reveal how English teachers with different UKG chievement levels performed their competence in classrooms. Five teachers out of the 14 teachers under study were chosen as participants.The finding reveals that based on students’ perception, professional and pedagogic competences demonstrated by English teachers in classrooms do not fully reflect their UKG achievement levels. In some aspects, the teachers with lower UKG achievement are not perceived worse than those with higher UKG achievement. This finding is in line with the finding based on classrooms teaching performance of the five English teachers’ under study. In some parts of lessons, the lower achievers could even perform better than the highers.
